As a developer, are you ready to welcome widows Mobile 6?

Recently, the wm6 message is endless, you have seen a lot of pictures and evaluations about wm6 from the Windows Mobile 6 Simplified Chinese version Evaluation Report on tompda or the Windows Mobile 6 of Li Bo, which is on the verge of release. For our developers, we are concerned with the message about the wm6 SDK. Congratulations! You can download the wm6 SDK on msdn.
As rumors have said, in wm6, the previous Pocket PC was renamed as wm6 classic, while the Pocket PC phone edition was called wm6 professional. For the two versions of wm6, the SDK used is Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK. For the smartphone version of wm6, it is called wm6 standard and the Windows Mobile 6 standard SDK needs to be downloaded.

After downloading wm6 sdks, we strongly recommend that you read what's new for developers in Windows Mobile 6. many new features for the developer wm6 SDK are listed here. Here I strongly recommend the following:
1. New Device emulator v2

My tears burst... Finally, you can connect device emulator to wmdc on Vista.
At the same time, you can now set the power supply/speaker information in the simulator:

2. Cellular emulator

Choose Start> Windows Mobile 6 SDK> Tools to run cellular emulator. On the first option page, "Call Manager", you can simulate a call to the simulator. On the second option page, "network", you can set whether the network to work on is 2G or 3G. On the third option page, "SMS", you can send text messages to the simulator. On the fourth option page, you can send AT commands to the simulator. The fifth option page "configuration" is the information for configuring SIM cards. On the sixth option page, you can view the AT command log in the simulator.
However, you still need to make some settings to use this telephone service. First, remember the port number in the lower left corner of the interface. For example, here is com3. Run one of your wm6 simulators, and then open the simulator configuration page. On the peripherals option page, set serial port 0 to the port number. Next, perform a soft reset for this simulator. After a long wait (sweat... I waited for 5 minutes). After the simulator is restarted, you will find that there is a telephone service in the simulator, as shown in:

Try to send a text message from cellulator emulator:

Khhe... Good. Of course, there is no problem with calling or anything. In this way, you can easily debug phone-related information on this simulator.Program.
Unfortunately, this cellllator emulator cannot be used with the wm5 simulator. In this case, if you want to debug a Chinese program, you have to wait patiently for the appearance of the wm6 localization simulator.

Other new features about fakegps and security are not available for one-to-one testing. If you are interested, check them out.
Finally, I will reference a table. before downloading the wm6 SDK, please first check the wm6 development requirements:
